If the gun has a perfect seal, then it will stay pressurized until one of the components fails due to age. If you are losing pressure at a detectable rate, you have a leak.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to anger the bees, now would we??

If the gun does not have any leaks, of develop one from prolonged pressure, the air will "stay in for ever".

Well, if the gun is sealed properly, the air should stay in it, but if you have a leak, the air is gonna come out.

Well I filled one of my bike tires and It still is full of air 2 months later?
As long as your chamber is sealed, it will hold your pressure as long as you need it too.

oH i found the culpret i didnt tigten the hose clamp on my barb Lol
You should be fine with this type of loss. I don't see any reason you would want to leave a launcher pressurized for a very prolonged period of time (such as overnight or something). You do have a leak somewhere but it may be difficult to find.
There is a commercial product available that one can use. It will bubble (sort of like submerging the launcher in water) where the leak is. You could also skip the whole "I'm gonna go buy me something that I already have" idea and just use detergent and water for the same purpose.

a saw at auto zone here was this uv leek detector or sumthing u think that would work?
I don't know what uv leek detector is but I thought of sun rays
If it is designed to find air leaks, it will work. But you should save your money and use detergent and water. It works.

If you can see the leak already why don't you fix it?elitesniper wrote:welli can hear or see any leeks under waterbut it loses a tiney amout of air like i mean really tiney its like a pin head movement on the gauge u can barely see the hand move but i saw it move a tiney bit VERY TINY is that ok?
When you fill a car tire the air stays in for a LONG time (at 150psi) And why would you need to keep the air in "forever"?
